QUOTE (JaneGibbs @ Mar 22 2013, 08:13 PM)  I thought this forum was for the people of Newbury to discuss their concerns and problems. You can always make your own thread and discuss the things that concern you instead of just bleating about. It is but all I am saying is that this thread is just trivia nonsense. We should be putting our minds together and talk about things that can or should make a difference. Democracy is when people get together and stand up to be counted. That was all I meant. |

A bit like Simon perhaps. Didn't notice any of the girls engaging in that one. |

That's a bit pompous, this is just a trivial local forum, nobody is going to make a real difference posting on here. All of the threads are valid on here, and important to someone. |

One person's "trivia nonsense" is another's burning issue.

Getting away from the chat lines
 . It looks like Aldi's are on to a winner in Newbury, at lunchtime today there were queues of cars from the Robin Hood roundabout trying to get into there. And for Squelchy's benefit it looks like there are a lot of 4x4 owners who watch the Jeremy Kyle show as well .

Modern clean well kept store, quality goods, low prices - the wonder would be if Newbury people didn't like it!
Waitrose and its peers also have their fair share of Jeremy Kyle show prospects. Just watch, Newbury must be one of the rudest branches I've been in! Twice I've seen parents let grubby kids play and suck stock and leave it at the checkout when it's time to pay. -------------------- Know your place!

Are you equating the ownership of a 4x4 with education, taste or class? I can think of three chaps at Rettenden who may have disproved that. |
